    Threw up yellow and white bile

    My dog just got sick and threw up yellow and white bile. There wasn't any food in it. It has been really hot here and he hasn't been eating his well. I wonder if it is all related. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Dog acting lethargic

    My dog has been acting kind of lethargic and lazy. Does not want to go out for a walk. Seems to be lacking energy around the house. Other than that, he has not lost his appetite and his stools are fine. I am wondering, could this just be the heat? It has been opressively hot the last few...

    Dog barking at kids

    My puppy seems to have developed a worrisome habit. Whenever he sees a group of kids, he gets excited and starts barking at them. Now, I have to stress that he is in no way aggressive. If he sees one kid, he will go up to them and start wagging his tail. He only seems to get excited when he...

    Dog peed on another dog's head

    We took our dog a 7 month old cocker spaniel to the pet store today. He is very friendly and gets along with most dogs, even when the dog is barking at him. But, he was playing with one of the male dogs and before I knew what happened, he lifted his leg and peed on the dog's head! Now, when...

    How many times to feed?

    How many times a day should I be feeding my 6 month cocker spaniel? Right now, we have him on 3 meals a day, half a cup at each meal. When is a good time to reduce the frequency of feeding? We are thinking of reducing the frequency to twice a day, feeding him 3/4 a cup each time.

    Dog scratching ears

    My dog seems to scratch his ears quite a bit. Every time he does it, he does it so vigorously I think his head is going to fall off! Now, he is a cocker spaniel and I know that they always have problems with ears. But, his ears themselves seem fine and we clean them every other day. Could...

    Dog growled at little kid

    Today my 6 month old cocker spaniel growled at my little nephew. This is the first time it has happened. But, it has me very concerned as a warning growl might be a precursor to something more serious. My dog was playing with his treat ball and my nephew, who lives with us, tried to pick up...

    Grooming English cocker spaniel

    I need some help with my 5 month English Cocker Spaniel's coat. He has a fine cottony coat that is very noticeable on both sides of his body. His coat is really not looking the way it should. It is more cottony than silky. We brush him every day and it is looking better, but nowhere near...

    Dominance issue?

    We have a 5 month old Cocker. This morning I was eating some almonds. He wanted some, he kept jumping around me. So, I made him do a sit and gave hime one. OK, but that wasn't enough for him. I was sitting on the sofa and he jumped up straight for my mouth while I was eating. Now, he didn't do...

    New potty problem

    Other than the odd accident in the house we thought our 5 month old cocker spaniel was pretty house trained.... until now! We have been keeping him in a crate since we got him(about 2 months) and no matter what we did, he just didn't seem to take to the crate. He would cry for half an hour...

    Frozen marrow bones

    So, I bought some frozen beef marrow bones from the supermarket. Basically they are frozen discs of bones. There is no knuckle or anything. Just the main shaft of the bone, cut up. Are these OK to feed? Can I feed them as is or is there anything else I need to do?

    Puppy aggressive towards toys

    We gave our 5 month old cocker spaniel some soft toys (a stuffed dog and bear). He displays a lot of aggression towards these toys. He will grab them and shake them violently and attack them like he is mauling them. Is this to be expected? Is it just his prey drive kicking in? He hasn't show...

    Puppy poo on Innova

    I am feeding my 5 month old Innova Puppy, slowly moving him over from Science Diet. Now he is on 3/4 Innova and 1/4 Science Diet. But, his poo has started to look kinda weird. It is not uniform, there are pieces of a lighter colour, they are almost like undigested seeds, but they can't be...

    Puppy games

    We have a 5 month year old cocker spaniel. I would like know what type of games are appropriate for a puppy of this age. We play fetch with him. And he is very good at retrieving the object. When we throw it, he brings it back most of the time. BUT, I have also found that when we do this, he...
